The idea
An AI check-call elimination layer that integrates with existing TMS platforms via API, automatically pings carriers through their preferred channel (SMS, app, or ELD data pull), normalizes location and status updates, and pushes real-time alerts to shippers without dispatcher involvement. Designed for brokers moving 20–200… Bought by VP of Logistics / Director of Transportation, typically Mid-market shipper or manufacturer, $100M–$2B revenue, outsourcing 30–100% of freight to brokers.
The pain
SourcedManual check calls are inefficient and error-prone; brokers still chase carriers by phone for status updates while shippers demand real-time visibility. The dispatcher who should be selling and building relationships spends a significant portion of the day on status-update phone tag.
